Keith,
Greg is right, just go slow and use lots of lube. Try tapping it from one
side and then move to the other side to tap it back the other way. Make sure
the jack under the motor is just barely touching the pan. The slightest
amount of pressure can bind things up.

Hi Keith,
I've never had trouble. I would just keep working at it. Be sure, though,
that the engine isn't binding (if you already have the front bolt out).
Lube, rotate, punch, repeat.

Anyone ever have a rough time removing the rear engine bolt that slides through the tranny case, bushings, and onto the frame? This thing is in there! It spins, and I have the engine supported with no pressure. I have been popping at it with a punch and have gotten it out about 2 inches, but man, that took over an hour to get it that far. I was curious about taking some heat to it in case the gunk or mineral deposits have built up that bad, but I am not sure. Any tips will be appreciated. New to Guzzis |
